605 That’s between you and me
After Gu Xin finished speaking, she ran towards Lu Zheng’s house.
Li Muyan took out a box and handed it to Gu Nian.
“What’s this?” Gu Nian did not take it and looked at him.
“Gu Nian, this is a little trinket I made for you.” Li mu said. I’ve heard about what happened this month from my mother. I’m sorry that I didn’t do anything for you. So, I made a little toy for you to play with when you’re not happy!”
Gu Nian looked at li Muyan suspiciously but still did not take it. “Li Muyan, we’re just business partners. We haven’t talked about anything other than cooperation for so long, have we? So, I’d like to say that we shouldn’t give each other anything in private to avoid misunderstandings. At the moment, I don’t want to have any relationship with any man. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Li Muyan was stunned for a moment, then laughed,”of course I do, I do!” But I’m not sending you off alone! I also gave some to Huihui sisi and Xinxin. I’ll give you Huihui’s this time. I’ll give sisi and Xinxin’s next month. There’s no other connection, so it can’t be called a private exchange.”
Gu Nian heaved a sigh of relief as she accepted the box. “Li Muyan, I might be overthinking things, but I have to make it clear that there were two incidents this year, both of which were because of feelings, and also because of me. I think I’m quite innocent. Xu Changfeng is alright. At least I know that. I tried my best to make it clear to him, but he just didn’t listen. I didn’t feel that I treated Cheng Rui any different in the past, but he insisted that I must be him and that I was willing to be his concubine. I am really innocent. So, I’m telling you in advance, between us, we’ll only talk about business, not feelings. If I do anything to make you mistakenly think that I’m interested in you, you must tell me and I’ll definitely correct myself, really.”
Li Muyan: ” Yingluo, you’re already at the age to talk about marriage. Actually, you can consider me.
Gu si shook his head like a rattle-drum. “don’t, don’t. It wasn’t easy for me to fall in love with someone, but in the end, it was all my wishful thinking. How embarrassing. I wasn’t moved, but she’s trying to kill me! I’ve already thought it through. Feelings are poisonous and can’t be touched. It’s better to make money!”
As she spoke, she opened the box. The box didn’t look big, but there was a sense of layering inside. There were two little people inside, and it was as if they were playing house. There was a mechanism on the outside of the box, and when it was moved, the two little people started moving. Although their movements were simple, they looked quite fun.
Once again, Gu Nian admired li Muyan’s hands-on ability and the flexibility of his thinking.
However, li Muyan caught the main point in Gu Nian’s words.”You said you were moved? You have someone you like?”
As Gu Nian played with the box, she nodded and then shook her head. “I thought that if I liked him, he would be the one I liked, but my mother told me that he wasn’t. Recently, I’ve also thought it through. I don’t seem to like it that much. I’m telling you this embarrassing story because I think we get along. Don’t laugh at me! That incident is already in the past. After experiencing the people I like looking down on me and those who look up to me, I don’t want to talk about feelings. I’m still young, so I’m not in a hurry. By the way, are the people in your box me and sister Huihui? Why don’t you just become four little people? It would be great if the four of us sisters could be together! Why did they have to separate? Xinxin and sisi are not much younger than us.”
Li mu said,”Yingluo, that’s between you and me!”
